Richard & Edward

I almost stopped reading. She’s dating Richard in this one.

He’s not a bad guy, he’s actually described as being very ‘Boy Scout’. I think he’s a bit of a wuss. Well, a stubborn jackass might be more accurate.

But Edward is also in this one. Everyone loves Edward. He’s definitely a favorite of mine. It’s a minor role, but such great set-up for the future!

So I’m sticking with it. I love all of the Anita Blake novels. I’m just happier when Richard is no longer a boyfriend. Which isn’t yet.

I’m having a blast rereading all of these and am getting really excited to catch up to where I left off. Sometimes it pays to let a series sit for a few years (maybe more like a decade). Now I’ve got plenty to look forward to!

Okay. I read some more. I really do like Richard, but he’s so frustrating! And aggravating. And can really be an ass. I’ve always preferred Jean-Claude. He can be aggravating too, but it’s more fun when he does it. More playful.

Finished it. Now I remember. The first time I finished it, I called my dear friend who introduced me to the series and said “finally!” and something about still not liking Richard. They laughed.

The Killing Dance, number six in the Anita Blake vampire hunter series by Laurell K. Hamilton. Onto Burnt Offerings. Love this series!
